Description
They're hiding in your closet. They're lurking in your bed. They're all over you—snacking on your skin, burrowing through your scalp, munching on your mascara. They're the creepy crawlers of the unknown world, and now—thanks to micro-photographer Lennart Nilsson, who brought us The Miracle of Life—you can (shudder) catch these critters in the act, magnified to monster size.

Look quick, on the bookshelf—a giant silverfish is slithering over your Shakespeare. Peer into the house plant—a mammoth ladybug stalks an aphid for a feast. Grab your coat—and hope it's not teeming with ravenous larvae. Then glance in the mirror: are those sci-fi creatures you see—swarming through the rainforest of your hair, the jungle of your arm, the furrowed contours of your hand?

Change your perspective (if you dare). Spy from an unexpected angle—say, a behind-the-teeth view—and a kiss is not just a kiss anymore. Zoom in again: a secret drama is taking place, in, on, and around us in a hidden world. And yes, we're all in it together—whether we know it or not.

They're hiding in your closet. They're lurking in your bed. They're all over you- snacking on your skin, burrowing through your scalp, munching on your mascara. They're the creepy crawlers of the unknown world, and now- thanks to micro-photographer Lennart Nilsson, who brought us The Miracle of Life- you can (shudder) catch these critters in the act, magnified to monster size. Look quick, on the bookshelf- a giant silverfish is slithering over your Shakespeare. Peer into the house plant- a mammoth ladybug stalks an aphid for a feast. Grab your coat- and hope it's not teeming with ravenous larvae. Then glance in the mirror: are those sci-fi creatures you see- swarming through the rainforest of your hair, the jungle of your arm, the furrowed contours of your hand? Change your perspective (if you dare). Spy from an unexpected angle- say, a behind-the-teeth view- and a kiss is not just a kiss anymore.

3 out of 5 stars Nice Photography - Poor Story.......2007-01-06

While the photography used in making this movie is very impressive, the story line they used to tie it together was too forced. It seems the story was developed to utilize the camera images they had already filmed. Otherwise, an interesting piece. Also, I am not sure why Amazon's title says "Stacy Keach" and the DVD cover credits "David Ogden Stiers" as the narration.
